The 34-year-old son of Eugene “Big U” Henley, an accused Crips leader facing federal charges in a sprawling criminal case involving accusations of running a “Mafia-like” enterprise, died after being shot Friday night in South Los Angeles, officials said.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner identified the shooting victim as Jabari Henley.

The fatal shooting occurred just after 11 p.m. at Figueroa and 69th streets in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood, said Norma Eisenman, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.

The shooting occurred after the victim appeared to walk up to a vehicle, Eisenman said. Suspects inside the vehicle shot him and then fled the scene. There is no description of the suspects, Eisenman said.

Firefighters pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
